Kid Icarus / Metroid Original Soundtrack Orchestra Version Side B Track 2 : BGM Medley

[@Phediuk]

Curious that the "escape theme" has the extended part that was added for the American NES release (and was absent from the FDS version.) This record was released in Feb 87, but US Metroid didn't come out until August 87, meaning Hip Tanaka had prepared the extended theme at least 6 months in advance.

Maybe he originally wanted to put it in the FDS version, but couldn't for whatever reason. That was the case with Koji Kondo's ending theme used in SMB2J, which included a part he couldn't fit into the SMB1 version because of memory constraints.

中学生の時買ったテープ。 当初はパルテナ目的だったが、このメトロイドオーケストラが衝撃的で、信じ難いほどの名作テープとなった。 当時は1000円で、テープの寿命を考えて追加購入。 2本とも擦り切れるまで聴きました😺

Thanks for sharing. I had the same tape. I wonder I did not hear ending songs on yours

Sorry, what is this, exactly?
